After a weekend filled with activities, the Jags have wrapped up rookie mini camp. One player that both fans and coaches alike had their eye on was Jacksonville’s first round draft pick, OT Luke Joeckel. After practice, I had a chance to catch up with Joeckel to talk about how things went, Gus Bradley, and more:

April is upon us and just like that, so it football! Hard to believe it, but the Jaguars, as well as the rest of the league, are getting back out to the practice field by kicking off voluntary conditioning work outs. New head coach Gus Bradley talked to the media after today’s first session and addressed how things went, injuries, quarterback Blaine Gabbert, MJD, and more:

The Jacksonville Jaguars have given the city several big headlines today. In addition to firing head coach Mike Mularkey after one season, the franchise also introduced their new general manager David Caldwell. Here are some of the things he had to say earlier this afternoon:

It hasn’t been a pretty year so far for the Jaguars. The team currently sits at 1-5 after a 26-23 loss just a few days ago to the Raiders. Sunday’s game didnt just cause yet another hit to their record; it also took a hit to the roster itself, in particular quarterback Blaine Gabbert and running back Maurice Jones-Drew. The great news is that Gabbert expects to play Sunday. The good news is that MJD will only have to miss a few weeks. The bad news is the Jags definitely wont have Mojo for Sunday vs the Packers. Both players had a chance to speak with the media today. Here are some updates:

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” Actually, go ahead and drop “it was the best of times.” Because today was just bad. The Jaguars set a record this afternoon for the lowest total number yards of offense in franchise history with 117. The Jaguars were 0 and 9 on third down conversions. Not even the fact that Maurice Jones-Drew scored his 75th career touchdown can be called a silver lining to today’s performance. Here’s what Coach Mularkey, Maurice Jones-Drew, and Blaine Gabbert had to say after today’s loss.

We are just a few days away from Jacksonville’s season home opener and it’s going to be a tough one. The Jaguars will take on a tough AFC South opponent in the Houston Texans, a team well known for being able to attack you with both the pass and the run. I had a chance to catch up with TE Marcedes Lewis, LB Paul Posluszny, and DT Tyson Alualu to talk about bouncing back from the loss to the Vikings, how to prepare for the Texans, and more:

After having yesterday off, the Jaguars were back out on the practice field to start preparing for what will be a tough AFC South foe in the Houston Texans. Coach Mike Mularkey met with the media afterwards to discuss every thing from injuries to preparing for this weekend’s game and to let every one know that he has with out a doubt moved on from Sunday’s loss to the Vikings.
